Derby Market Hall, recently reopened following a £35.1 million refurbishment, is now accepting applications from short-term pop-up and permanent traders looking to establish a presence in the city centre. The Grade II-listed venue, which attracted over 34,500 visitors during its first three days, has positioned itself as a high-footfall retail and cultural destination.
A new booking platform has been launched for pop-up stallholders. These short-term pitches, centrally located and targeted at local creatives and independents, are designed to offer flexible access to a growing customer base.
Alongside the pop-up initiative, Derby Market Hall is actively recruiting permanent traders to build a diverse and dynamic marketplace. Since reopening, the venue has received 46 expressions of interest for long-term occupancy, underlining renewed commercial interest in the site.
The relaunch of the Market Hall forms part of Derby’s broader strategy to revitalise the city centre economy through heritage-led regeneration and support for local enterprise. Interested businesses can apply via the Market Hall’s dedicated platforms for either pop-up or permanent spaces.
